the circumstances of this Colony.

7.

585

I propose now to proceed to the drafting of an amending Ordinance along the lines generally indicated in the notes on the Commission's proposals. If I find that the majority of the Unofficial Members are in favour of its general features, I may read it a first time only before Sir Frederick Lugard's arrival, so as thoroughly to clear the ground and define issues for his handling. If, on the other hand, I find that public opinion, as represented by a majority of the Council, is not in favour of the principal proposals of the Government, I shall not move further than preparing the draft Ordinance.

8.

I trust that the manner in which I have dealt with a situation which has been somewhat difficult, will commend itself to Your Lordship.

I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
[Name not clear, possibly 'Amay'] Officer Administering the Government.
